Teachers Association.

Teachers Association.
In company with Capt. Pifer we
went down to Prosperity on last Sat
uriay to attend the Teachers Asso-
citation. As We expected there would
be, Il large crowd hal assembled at
the High School building, the use of
which Prof. Schect: had kindly Of
fered to the teachers. All OF the
lecturers were present except Dr.
Holland who Was unable TO be there
Capt. Pifer was called upon to open
the discussion of the subject which
had been assigned to Dr.. Rolland;
;;School Discipline" He did 50.
and expressed his opinion that re-
sorting to extreme measures with
children is seldom necessary and
should be avoided ii possible.
Prof. Counts talked interestingly
on "Comm0n Fractions" q subject
often so repulsive to tie young stu
dent. It was during the discussion
of this subject that the question
arose: Whether it IS ever expcdient
to teach an error in crdcr to make q
point ineligible to the pupil. Both
sides, the one for, and the other
against the teaching OF an error to
accomplish an end spoke earnestly.
As to which vas the victor we leave
it for others to say.
Miss Joe Langford read we'll
prepared essay On the methods of
teaching spelling. It was generally
admitted that written spelling should
be practiced as far as practicable.
Prof. Scheetz lectured interesting
" on I. S. History. The lecturer
said that he had been able to find
no book On the subject that fully
meets the demand: that they usually
give too much prominence to the
unesscntial points; that the study of
our institutions and the time cf our
great men should be carefully at
tended to. After Prof. Scheetz lee
true the association adjourned.
The meeting at Prosperity was a
good one both as to members present
and interest manifested. We think
that the plan of meeting at New
berry and Prosperity alternately is a
good one.
Most OF the teachers whom We
met at Prosperity on Saturday re-
port their schools in good condition.
But while they have this to say for
their schools, they complain about
the poor pay which they receive. If
the people Of our county only know
how little money some Of our teach
ers have received since the opening
of the present session they would be
startled. To have good schools the
teachers must be better paid.

EXCELSIOR NOTES.

/ O-lllOTTON Is NOON
The cold spell last week gave the
fruit crop another severe trial.
School is little short this week, seve-
raj Of the scholars having to stay at
home to assist in the farm work.
April came in wet and cold, along
with some rain, sleet and snow, Oft and
on almost during the entire day.
Our farmers were very busy last week
putting down their fertilizers. Wonder
who will be the first in our section to
plant some cotton?
Rev. NJ. NJ. Kinard, Of the Seminary,
being dismissed from his studies until
after Easter, returned home last Friday
evening.
Misses Fannie McNeary and Mary
Kinard, Of Prosperity, spent Saturday
night and Sunday in our section, visiting
relatives and friends. Call again, girls.
Misses Mary Boyd and Victoria Cros-
son, two students of the Prosperity
High School, paid the Excelsior school a
pleasant visit last Friday evening.
This seems to be a choice time OF the
year for diseases. Measles, whooplng
cough and roseola have been prevailing
in our section. What will be next on
the programme?
We wish the HERALD AND NEWS
with its new laborers much success, and
assure the kind editors that amongst
their many readers there is none that
appreciates its worthy columns more
than We do.
We are glad to learn the new railroad
is progressing rapidly. We are anxious
to hear the sound OF the whistle and the
roaring of the locomotive rushing
through our community from this new
enterprise.
1t was our pleasure again on last Sab
bath TO worship with the Nt. Pilgrim
congregation. A pretty day, good at
tendance, and the pastor preached an
interesting sermon from the text
':Take us the foxes, the little foxes,
that spoil our vines; for our vines have
tender grapes" May we express such
faith as was spoken OF in the sermon.
"a We were sorry to learn Of the shoot
ing affair between Messrs. Johnstone
and Jones. We consider it a bad affair
indeed when such prominent young
gentlemen have to become at outs and
90 back on the poor little ''pockct pis-
tolls" in order to get revenge. Pistols
should only be used in case Of necessity,
and in such cases they are very apt to
be found in a ruStcd condition when
called for.
1t seems real strange to Us just to
hear old people tell OF the different kind
of signs there are, and yet how strong
old people believe in signs; bnt we have
no more faith in signs than a wagon has
need Of five wheels to run with. Bullet
all those who believe in signs have their
own belief, we don't have any obiec-
ton; no, no, Of course not. ''ls re-
minds us Of al occurrence that took
place in an oil lady's residence a lew
years ago. She says while sitting y
her fircside ore night her cupboard
walked across the floor and back, which
OF course astonishcd her wonderfully.
Then that was assuredly. sign Of 4
death in the family. On! such belief
in signs. Then We have heard some
sign believers" say never plant your
Irish pota,ors only in the dark OF the
moon. Well, this is al very good.
Plant or sow your seed By the signs.
and if the seasons are suitable you will
assurtdly raise 1 good crop. SIGMA.

KANSAS STUDENTS AND MIR.
DAVIS.
The Ex-President Of the Confederacy will Prob
badly Deliver an Address Before the William
Jewell College.

CHICAGO, April "A special from
Kansas City, Mo, says
1T is the custom of the literary
societies of the William Jewell
College, at Liberty, each year to
select a distinguished man to deliver
an address during the commencement
exercises, and at joint meeting of
the societies, two weeks ago, fresh
man named Roddy nominated Jefer-
son Davis to deliver the address this
year, and read what he declared to be
a letter he had received from Mr..
Davis in reply to one he had written.
In the professed letter Mr.: Davis
said, if invited to address the socie-
ties he would gladly do SO. Suspect
ing the genuineness of the letter, the
students appointed committee to
write to the Ex-President of the Con-
federacy, asking if he had received a
communication from Roddy, and if
be had replied, as stated A few
days ago the committee heard from
Mr.. Davis. He said he had received
no communication upon the subject
mentioned in the committees letter,
and that he could not have written
the letter read by Koddy because he
was not at the place at which it vas
dated at the time. He added that
he would not say whether or not he
would deliver n address at William
Jewell College until he was informed
whether such an act was desirable.
The students regard this as an init
nation that MIR. Davis would favorbly
consider such an invitation, and at
the next regular meeting they will
invite him. Commencement exercises
will be held in June. As for young
Roddy, he will be tried by the stu
dents upon charges of forgery and
Misrepresentation, and will probably
bc expelled from tn" society Of which
he is 4 member"

.NEWBERRY, S. 9,
THURSDAY, APRIL I, 1887.
JOHN BELTON O'NEALL JONES.

Johnnie Jones is dead. True,
brave. noble, courteous, generous,
hightoncd. After nearly one week
from the time be received the fatal
shot, and showing remarkable
strength and fortitude, he died IN
the Office Of George S. Mower on
Saturday morning at three o'clock.
It makes lis sad to write it, for in his
death we feel that true friend and
associate has been removed, and we
wish We were able to pay that tribute
to his memory which Our heart feels:
and which he so justly merits. He
was Just twenty-seven years Old.
Just approaching tic true vigor Of
his young manhood. The death OF
this young man is felt more keenly,
perhaps, by the editor OF this paper,
than by most others outside OF the
Immediate family. Our acquaintance
with Johnnie began just ten years
ago. when as boys, we entered the
Sophomore class of Newber:y Col
lege. For three years We labored
and studied together as classmates:
having all the ups and downs incl
dent to college life, until June looo,
when cur class was sent forth BY the
college to fight the battle OF life.
The other members OF our class
sought other fields in which to try
their fortunes, Johnnie and the
writer remaining in Newberry. Bar
tou B. Ramage and Burr J. Ram
age, going to Baltimore to continue
their studies, and ]. Y. S. Sheppard,
A. J. Bowers and II. 0. J. Areps
going to Virginia to enter the Theo-
logical Seminary. and from that tine
to tie present the class has been
separated.
Those who know the strength OF
the ties formed by college friends
and classmates can appreciate how
the death of this Young man is felt
BY the writer.
We also read law together and
were admitted to the bar at the same
time, in December 1882. We al
ways found Johnnie Jones a true
friend, generous and noble.
As a lawyer he gave promise Of
becoming eminent in his pro-
fession. His was mind of more
than ordinary ability, and his general
reading was very extended for one Of
his years. He was the Youngest
child of Maj. Lambert J. Jones and
very naturally the pride Of his fond
parents. To them our sincercst and
tenderest sympathy is extended IN
this hour Of their bereavement.
Death at any time is sad, but for
a noble young life to be cut down IN
full vigor of health and strength
in the budding Of young manhood
with the promise Of future years, it
is doubiy sad. It affords much con-
ISOLATION to the fond parents to know
shat he gave such evidence as to JUS
tify them il the hope that all is well
with him now, and that he was pre-
pared to meet the dread monster,
death.

SPRING OPENING

OF nv immense stock of Spring Cloth
inc for men, youths and boys. The
magnitude Of my stock has never before
been euualed. My steadily increasing
business and the liberal patronage upon
me in the past has justified me in select.
ing this large and well assorted stock OF
Spring clothing. The fancy and plain
Cheviot made in Square-cut Sacks. Gut
away Sacks, and the One and Four
button Cutawav Coat. You will also
find Serges, Cashmere, WorstedS, Whip
cord and Corkscrews made in the man
ner as the Cheviot, elegantly made and
trimmed. These garments are guaran-
teed to fit, and made equal to any mer-
chant tailor garment. l have taxed my
best efforts in securing this class OF
goods from the best manufacturers in
order to compete with custom work, and
to sell you these goods at one-half their
price. Many who have had their clothes
made have been patronizing the Empo-
rum of Fashion. "Why?" Because they
get as fine suit, and will tit as we'll,
and better trimmed, and equally as we'll
made, and at a considerable less lost.
The most important feature is that they
can keep trying on until they can get a
satisfactory fit and run no risk, as they
usually do when having them made TO
order.
HATS.
This stock is complete in every style
of Hat that gentleman can wish for.
Among this stock will be found the Gel
ebrated Boston Flexible Stiff Hat in all
the latest Spring shapes, in the fashion
able shades of Granite, Pearl, Nutra,
Brown and Black, also Pearl Cashmere
Hats. The celebrated Dunlap Stiff Hats
in the latest Spring styles. These Hats,
as we'll as the Boston Flexible, can only
be found here as am the sole agent for
these manufactures. My stock OF Straw
Hats is so large, and the styles are so nu-
merous, that it will be impossible to 60
into details. Suffice it to say that it
is complete in every respectful regard to
price and quality.
SHOES.
Nv business in this line has increased
so that I have enlarged this department
in order to make room tor my large as
sortment OF Gents Fine Shoes for Spring
and Summer wear. Among the leading
makes the celebrated Bannister Shoes
may be found in all the latest shapes in
Congress, Lace and Low-quarter Shoes.
